No hack. Just a misconfigured backend on a wrapper chatbot built on top of Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-meta-serif-pro scene:font-noto-sans scene:text-base scene:md:text-lg font-normal text-lg md:text-xl md:leading-9 tracking-px text-body gg-dark:text-neutral-100\">Medical questions, legal discussions, personal confessions, all of it free for the taking. The worst part? It wasn&#8217;t even an attack. Just negligence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-meta-serif-pro scene:font-noto-sans scene:text-base scene:md:text-lg font-normal text-lg md:text-xl md:leading-9 tracking-px text-body gg-dark:text-neutral-100\">It\u2019s enough to give those concerned about privacy a scare, and then there\u2019s the more deliberate stuff some companies are doing: LinkedIn quietly opted users into AI training. Google flipped Gmail access on by default for its AI model Gemini. Meta cited &#8220;legitimate interest&#8221; to train on years of EU users&#8217; Facebook posts. A court ordered OpenAI to preserve all ChatGPT logs\u2014including deleted ones\u2014for legal discovery.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border:0\" src=\"https:\/\/myriad.markets\/embed\/market\/which-bubble-bursts-first\" width=\"100%\" height=\"415px\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"width:0px;overflow:hidden;line-height:0\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-meta-serif-pro scene:font-noto-sans scene:text-base scene:md:text-lg font-normal text-lg md:text-xl md:leading-9 tracking-px text-body gg-dark:text-neutral-100\">As Moxie Marlinspike, the cryptographer who built the privacy-focused messaging app Signal, put it: using mainstream AI is like confessing to a \u201cdata lake.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-meta-serif-pro scene:font-noto-sans scene:text-base scene:md:text-lg font-normal text-lg md:text-xl md:leading-9 tracking-px text-body gg-dark:text-neutral-100\">So if you still want AI in your life\u2014and many of you probably do\u2014here are some tools that at least make a serious effort to keep your data private.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"sc-b2a202e4-2 bmropA gg-dark:text-white scene:font-itc-avant-garde-gothic-pro scene:font-light\" style=\"margin-top:2em;text-align:left;padding-bottom:16px;margin-bottom:16px;border-bottom:1px solid #dfe2e4\" color=\"#333\">Confer: What if Signal was a chatbot?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"font-meta-serif-pro scene:font-noto-sans scene:text-base scene:md:text-lg font-normal text-lg md:text-xl md:leading-9 tracking-px text-body gg-dark:text-neutral-100\">Moxie Marlinspike developed Signal so users could have privacy in the middle of the Web 2.0 revolution. Confer, his AI project launched in December 2024, is the logical continuation now that interactions with AI are found everywhere on the internet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-meta-serif-pro scene:font-noto-sans scene:text-base scene:md:text-lg font-normal text-lg md:text-xl md:leading-9 tracking-px text-body gg-dark:text-neutral-100\">With Confer, your message encrypts on your device before it goes anywhere. It then travels to a Trusted Execution Environment: a hardware-isolated vault on the server that even Confer&#8217;s own engineers cannot access or read. The response comes back encrypted. The entire codebase is open source and verifiable. Anyone can check that what&#8217;s actually running on the servers matches what&#8217;s published.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-meta-serif-pro scene:font-noto-sans scene:text-base scene:md:text-lg font-normal text-lg md:text-xl md:leading-9 tracking-px text-body gg-dark:text-neutral-100\">That last part is called remote attestation. It&#8217;s a big deal. It means you don&#8217;t have to trust their privacy policy; you can verify the architecture itself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-meta-serif-pro scene:font-noto-sans scene:text-base scene:md:text-lg font-normal text-lg md:text-xl md:leading-9 tracking-px text-body gg-dark:text-neutral-100\">No chat logs. No training.
